Seriously. This was a miraculous game. I cannot believe we won this game. I am STUNNED.

OK. What is the bet on Cundiff being cut this week? I say he has a 1 in 4 chance of being on the roster this time next week.

I say Cundiff is cut tomorrow. No way we go into the St Louis game with a possible playoff berth on the line and possibly having to depend on Cundiff to win in the final seconds. I think we bring back the guy we had between Cortez and Cundiff. I would be shocked to see Cundiff kicking anywhere in the NFL again this season or next.

I was dogged last week for my thread on how the Panthers have played scrubb quarterbacks all year, and how their schedule was crap. I also said that Carolina's defensive line was living on the reputation from 2003. How 'bout this.....Julius Peppers has less sacks than Gregg Ellis. REPUTATION!!!!!!!We DOMINATED the line of scrimmage. Had we been able to play Bollinger, Brooks, Bauman, Simms(first game in) Losman, Culpepper/Johnson we would be the team sitting in the drivers seat instead of needing help to get in the playoffs. They have played a crap schedule full of crap quarterbacks. Until today.

Pending a Chicago victory against Green Bay, the Cowboys would win the tiebreaker with Minnesota based on strength of victory. They hold the tiebreaker on Atlanta because of their conference record.

The fifth seed
• Win both games to finish 10-6

• Washington loses one of its last two to finish 9-7

• Minnesota wins out to finish 10-6

• Tampa Bay loses both games to finish 9-7

• Atlanta splits both games to finish 9-7

• Carolina splits both games to finish 11-5

Pending a Chicago victory over Green Bay, the Cowboys would be the No. 5 seed in the playoffs because they would beat Minnesota in a tiebreaker.

Cowboys miss the playoffs at 10-6
• Dallas wins both its remaining games

• Washington wins its remaining games

• Tampa Bay wins its remaining games

While there are other scenarios in which the Cowboys could miss the playoffs at 10-6, this is the simplest. Tampa Bay would finish with a better record than the Cowboys, and Washington holds the tiebreaker over Dallas.

Can the Cowboys get in at 9-7?
Yes, but a victory in one of their last two games does not guarantee Dallas a playoff spot. Numerous tiebreaker scenarios must fall its way among NFC wild-card contenders.
